There is definitely a chance you have at least come across a 445 hp BMW 650i or better still, driven it.
While it is true to say that this model is quite an amazing drive with its turbocharged V8 that manages a solid torque of 480 lb-ft. you will definitely feel otherwise, when you come across the new 2016 BMW M6.
Engine and performance
The new BMW M6 is equipped with a 4.4 liter twin turbo V8, however, this engine delivers more horsepower than the 650i, standing at 552hp and a torque of 502 lb-ft. There is also an optional Competition package that will leave with you 600hp. The good thing with the M6 is that you will get two transmissions, that is, the usual 6-speed manual transmission with a real clutch pedal and 7-speed automated manual. There is just a lot to this car than just what is under the hood. There is little to worry about as far as fuel consumption is concerned as the BMW M6 comes with a stop-start engine feature that aids in the consumption of fuel.
Just like any other 6 Series models, the 2016 BMW M6 is fit with a luxurious cabin that has been trimmed with the company’s high-end materials that include sun-reflective upholstery meant for the convertible.

If you want to get yourself one of the 2016 BMW M6 models, you can only get them in a single trim level. The M6 is available either as a convertible or a simple coupe. The later model is installed with a carbon-fiber roof, whereas the former is equipped with a power-controlled fabric top.
